POLITICS NEWS - Lobby group Equal Education says government must be held accountable for the death of a five-year-old girl who drowned in a pit toilet at an Eastern Cape school.
The child fell into the toilet at the Luna Primary School in Bizana earlier this week.
The group says it's becoming increasingly evident government doesn't have a plan to improve conditions at schools in poor areas.
Equal Education's Amanda Rinquest says: “Equal Education is deeply disturbed and deeply upset that yet another young learner has died while trying to learn, especially a vulnerable learner who had no choice but to use the unsafe sanitation at school.”
